Minear, Regional Commissioner of HEW Office of Education said. Funding for other special programs, in addition to the basic grant, he said, include $16,111 for adult basic education; $86,091 for the continuing consumer and home making instruction; $67,129 for vocational education special needs; and $26,900 for the vocational education work study pro- D Of Public Instruction gram. 74 Hunting-Fishin- g Licenses After Feb. The symptoms are fairly easy to spot. First, overheating. Second, the motors starter keeps tripping. Third, the motor wont start properly. To help avoid trouble with your electric motors and to prolong their lives, follow these guidelines: B Keep the motor clean, dry, ventilated and lubricated (use only approved 8 motor lubricants). the motor is exposed to the sun, provide shade for it to eliminate excess heat. If Protect each of the incoming phase lines with overload relays. Equip your motor starter with properly calibrated overload relays to prevent I n damage in the event load.
